[ILQSO] Re: Operation from Boone County

Hi Doug,
Good to hear you're talking up the party up north!
A multi-op is a great way to have fun, put the county on the air, and 
introduce some new people to somewhat laid-back contesting. 

As for Boone County activity, KN9T and N9GZ are planning a 
Boone/DeKalb/Ogle/Winnebago operation this year.  That, however, does not 
mean you should change your plans.  I don't think anybody is going to pass 
you up just because they've already worked the county.  In fact, with the 
8-QSO multiplier thingie, the incentive to move you to other bands and the 
other mode is immense. 

In addition to the frequencies Joe mentioned, I think activity has 
congregated around 21.050, 21.390, 28.050 and 146.490 FM simplex.  I don't 
know about six meters, but I'd try just up from 50.125 on SSB unless the 
band is crowded. 

Good luck!
73, Jim N9JF
